As a professional staffing firm, Kforce Inc. knows how important career development is and supports its own employees’ career goals with professional- and leadership-development training programs, mentorship, and management support.
“Inter-department training and team building are fundamentals of our office culture,” said Jim Casey, Kforce’s market vice president. “We also strive to create an environment where success is recognized, rewarded and celebrated.”
And as part of employee annual reviews, career goals are discussed and roadmaps are created to help each individual reach their goal. Employees can also be mentored by other experienced workers in the office to help with the development of their sales and recruiting skills, which translates into higher commissions and job advancement.
Kforce, which provides staffing services for careers in technology, finance and accounting, clinical research, and health-information management throughout the United States, offers medical and prescription drug coverage, life insurance and investment matching, and promotes a healthy work/life balance by allowing some employees to work from home.
Employees who aren’t earning commissions are eligible for employee-of-the-quarter or employee-of-the-year awards, with rewards in the form of days off and gift cards. The company’s board of directors can approve discretionary bonuses at the end of the year for administrative employees, and field managers are eligible for bonuses based on revenue growth.
Community involvement is also encouraged at Kforce, and employees are allowed to volunteer during the workweek. •
